Aree marginali e sviluppo locale: Il Parco dei Monti Sicani
2010
Il lavoro analizza, nell’ambito dello sviluppo locale, la materialità del territorio intesa come sua ricchezza endogena in funzione della ricchezza dei luoghi ivi presente. A tal fine il lavoro analizza la recente istituzione in Sicilia del Parco dei Monti Sicani inserito all’interno di una vasta area interna della Sicilia, comprendente dodici comuni e che soffrono di evidenti criticità come la distanza geografica ed economica dai maggiori centri dell’Isola, il progressivo spopolamento e l’assenza di giovani, le debolezze del mercato del lavoro sia dal lato della domanda che dal lato dell’offerta. Oggetto dell’analisi è quello, invece, di associare a questa marginalità un’accezione positiva…
Il valore della marginalità in un mondo conformista- un diverso modo di pensare lo sviluppo
2009
La marginalità è sinonimo di periferia e se il centro, oggi, produce profondi danni, è agli estremi che possono avvenire grandi cambiamenti, dove le realtà economiche e sociali sperimentano nuove situazioni. I processi di standardizzazione, necessari nell'ottenere e raggiungere economie di scala, non spiegano gli eventi shock che rispondono ad esigenze di differenziazione delle preferenze degli individui superando quel facile conformismo di massa in cui le società, oggi, rischiano di annegare. Il libro propone una serie di case studies orientati all'economia reale. In particolare, il legame tra nutrizione artificiale ed economia nell'ambito, oggi molto dibattuto, della sopravvivenza dei mal…

Parenting Dimensions and Internalizing Difficulties in Italian and U.S. Emerging Adults: The Intervening Role of Autonomy and Relatedness
2015
The present study examined the associations between emerging adults’ perceived parental psychological control and autonomy support, and their autonomy, relatedness and internalizing difficulties in Italy and the U.S. The participants included 494 Italian and 414 U.S. college students, between 18 and 28 years of age (Mean = 21.58, SD = 2.18). Our findings showed that dependency-oriented psychological control had no significant direct associations with autonomy, relatedness or internalizing difficulties. Moreover, the association between parental autonomy support and internalizing problems was fully intervened by autonomy and relatedness, whereas the association between achievement-oriented p…
Acculturation Profiles and Perceived Discrimination: Associations with Psychosocial Well-being Among Tunisian Adolescents in Italy
2015
Research usually analyzed the relationships between acculturation or perceived discrimination and immigrants’ well-being, but few studies used an integrative perspective. Framed from a person-oriented approach, the current paper tried to advance the literature examining how acculturation profiles and perceived (group and personal) discrimination were associated with psychosocial well-being in a sample of 348 Tunisian adolescents (females = 48.28%; mean age = 15.72) living in southern Italy. Cluster analytic methods on the scores of acculturation strategies, ethnic and national identities, ethnic and national languages, ethnic and national peer social contacts produced three acculturation pr…
Relations Between Suicidal Ideation, Depression, and Emotional Autonomy from Parents in Adolescence
2010
We examined the relations between depression, emotional autonomy quality-related constructs of separation and detachment, and suicidal ideation, focusing on the unique and common contribution that depression, separation and detachment made to suicidal ideation. We also examined gender differences. 403 adolescents, 196 boys and 207 girls, completed self-report measures of depression, separation and detachment, and suicidal ideation. The data showed a significant relation between depression and suicidal ideation both for boys and girls, and between detachment and suicidal ideation only for boys. Results for boys supported an additive model such that depression and detachment each contributed …
An Analysis of a Single Case of Comorbidity between Learning Disability and Borderline Intellectual Functioning
2012
Abstract In this study we explored a case of comorbidity between DSA and Borderline Intellectual Functioning. The girl was fourteen years old, ninth grade of school in Palermo, with significant learning difficulties. Two interviews were conducted, one with parents and one with teachers, to investigate the history of the girl's learning. In the pre-test phase the following cognitive areas were investigated: Q.I. (Level of Intelligence), decoding ability, reading comprehension and writing skills. Motivational-emotional profile was also evaluated: school motivation, self-handicapping strategies, self esteem and school anxiety. To assess these cognitive areas we used: Reading Comprehension Test…
Urban Mobility, Social Inclusion and Participation: A Qualitative Study in Palermo, Italy
2020
The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the connection between social inclusion and urban mobility, focusing on the role of sharing mobility and to what extent it might be a favourable tool for social inclusion, particularly for disadvantaged groups such as migrants. To our knowledge, whilst the literature has already examined the associations between migrants’ social inclusion and mobility, the role of sharing mobility in this process has not yet been widely analysed, especially in the Italian context. Hence, the present chapter addresses this knowledge gap. The rest of the chapter is organised as follows. First, we describe the relationships between mobility and social exclusion, then w…
Ethnic prejudice, resilience, and perception of inclusion of immigrant pupils among Italian and Catalan teachers
2021
In the current study we investigated the relationship between ethnic prejudice and resilience and the perception of inclusion of immigrant students among primary and middle school teachers in two different countries (Italy and Spain). Participants were 315 teachers: 75 Catalan women, 25 Catalan men, 202 Italian women, and 13 Italian men. Participants completed the Classical and Modern Racial Prejudice Scale, the Resilience Process Questionnaire, and an ad hoc questionnaire evaluating teachers’ perceptions about immigrant students and their inclusive education process. The results showed two different models: The first one, referring to Italian teachers, suggested that the resilience compone…
How shall we all live together?: Meta‐analytical review of the mutual intercultural relations in plural societies project
2021
Living together in culturally plural societies poses numerous challenges for members of ethnocultural groups and for the larger society. An important goal of these societies is to achieve positive intercultural relations among all their peoples. Successful management of these relations depends on many factors including a research-based understanding of the historical, political, economic, religious and psychological features of the groups that are in contact. The core question is ‘how we shall we all live together?’ In the project reported in this paper (Mutual Intercultural Relations in Plural Societies; MIRIPS), we seek to provide such research by reviewing three core psychological hypoth…
